In addition to the normal Museum of Dysfunction, Mildred's Umbrella will have a children's production on the Saturday afternoons of the run. Mildred's Umbrella Theater Company presents "What I See", a tale of selflessness inspired by Oscar Wilde's children's story "The Happy Prince" and "Aesop's Fables". This production will be a 45-minute show that is 'pay as you like' for elementary school aged children on the two Saturday afternoons during the run of Museum of Dysfunction.
